]]> Eclipse 3.7 Indigo has integrated Maven m2e plugin but is missing some expected functionality which was previously present in Sonatype releases by default. If you want your Maven Console to show something you must also install the optional “m2e – slf4j over logback logging” plugin.

When installing the m2e plugin there is an optional feature “m2e – slf4j over logback logging” which is needed for the Maven Console to work. Without it the plugin produces no output to Eclipse’s Maven Console view so that it is impossible to track plugin’s activity (background maven builds, source and javadoc downloads, etc).

There is a bug filed about it but it is resolved with comment “As a tool, m2e is not in the position to impose any specific slf4j logging backend on the host Eclipse installation.” That seems kinda strange as without the optional component the plugin is missing useful parts.

Just “Install new sofware > Indigo > Collaboration > “m2e – slf4j over logback logging (Optional)” and your Maven Console is back in business.

Fortunately almost all the answers in the world can be found in the Internet and so with a quick googling the solution to this annoying problem was found on Stack Overflow.

I had already tried Project -> Clean… and closing Eclipse, deleting all the built class files and restarting Eclipse to no avail as was the original question author. The right answer lies in deleting the corrupted search index which is explained in Eclipse bug’s #269820 comment.

How to delete the search index:

  1. Close Eclipse
  2. Delete workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core/*.index
  3. Delete workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core/savedIndexNames.txt
  4. Start Eclipse again

This fixed the issue for me.
